Well it snowed here in Tennessee last night that was a surprise lol wish everyone a warm great day (odaat)
Checking in day 249
Thanks everyone for your replies
Strangely enough, Iām going to do some CBT through chatgpt. I started last night and itās already given me a few little things to work on. Itās also free, and immediate so thatās good.
One thing Iāve been happy Iāve been doing lately is setting my own personal boundaries and saying no to requests, or not offering to do things, especially for those who wouldnāt do the same with me. I think Iāve set a high expectation on myself that anyone can come to me and Iāll be there to help. Itās just too much now, especially with the attention I want to give my kids. I think my thirties are really going to be about myself. Giving my all to others in my 20ās didnāt work out so great and I was taken advantage of every step of the way.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Thank you @CATMANCAM , hope your bloodsugar levels will be more stabil soon too. Isnāt it dangerous when it is this high? 21,6 sounds like an aweful lot to me
Congratulations @Bones_80
Hey all, checking in on day 1622. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 1,625 clean and sober. Thinking about heading out to the mountains for the day. Itās been awhile since Iāve gone for a hike as the weather had been so hot this year. Super cool and brisk today, perfect hiking weather
Have a beautiful day everyone, love you guys!
Day 322 AF
Still enjoying the high from weight training and cardio. Today will be 7th day straight in gym (always working opposing muscles) and 9 of 10 days this stretch.
My watch was stating that I was āoverreachingā on my training sessions, but a couple of friends that are personal trainers said go by how I feel. If Iām exhausted then break, if not keep goingā¦ I followed that advice and now today my watch has me in the green zone, and has my HRV status and recovery in a good rangeā¦ so Iāll be hitting the gym again today.
I could truly see me doing this a couple hours per day no issues as I really am enjoying it. Tunes on, sometimes a good music video feed playing on TV and just rolling through. My first actual jogging yesterday has me pretty excited.
Anyway, no need to bore yāall anymore on this. Just enjoying life and looking forward to my 1 year anniversary in another monthāish and thinking on a celebratory tattoo to mark the occasionā¦ weāll see .
Enjoy your day folks.

Hello!
Rollercoaster of emotions due to court- but I feel good now that itās over. Still sober and keeping myself away from temptation, not strong enough to share the same room as alcohol.
My productivity has increased and each day I get closer to being comfortable in my sober body. Ive put my new energy into my hobbies and it is much more rewarding than substances!!
Failing a college class but Iām grateful thatās my biggest problem right now.
Love to you all. Remember urges always pass and to look onwards and upwards.
Checking in. Iām feeling good today, no weed or alcohol cravings nor withdrawals. Itās been snowing two days, really hazardous blizzard, but it stopped today, so I took a walk. It was beautiful, I love snowy winter. I hope you all have a good sober day, my friends! Never give up! Only easy day was yesterday!

Less than a month to go till 8 years. My boss called yesterday out of the blue which was surprising. He was quizzing me about why the government engineer wanted to have a Teams meeting about the project. Like I did something wrong. And telling me obvious things like being sure to get on the clientās/governmentās good side and having prepared answers to all his questions. And he wants me to call him after the meeting to let him know how it goes. It made me feel really inept and like he was treating me like a child. Alcohol did cross my mind as a way to feel better but of course I wouldnāt go there. Thankfully my boss recently moved to Florida so I donāt often hear from him. Iām going to keep doing the good job I would have done anyways without his call, and am feeling better today.
Friday morning workday check in.
Procrastinating on a tedious work file that Iāve let drag on too long.
My wife and I have 4 concert tickets for a show tonight. The plan was she was going to go with 3 friends, and I would be home with our daughter. Now she changed her mind and wants to be home with our daughter, and we were actually debating about who gets to stay home. Weāre both exhausted.
Checking in.
Rough few days with the cold/bug kicking my butt. Hubs is off to watch a band with his buddy tonight and I have ordered a takeaway with cookies and icecream. I donāt trust myself at the shops today so keeping safe instead.
In person NA meeting with my son tomorrow where he gets his 60 days. Very proud and looking forward to it and I am taking him out to lunch.
Tonight however, I have a date with the sofa and telly and I am not moving until bed time.
Yay, well done Bones
